"Sweet Dreams with Huggies GoodNites"
Mina Kwon, 2012
Step back to the early 2010s with this well-loved Huggies GoodNites advertisement. .
With an art style reminiscent of classic storybook illustrations, Seattle-born Mina Kwon's work on this piece conveys a sense of timelessness and comfort. Her attention to emotional detail and the use of soft, rounded character designs create an inviting and reassuring atmosphere, ideal for the product.
The playful interaction between the characters and the use of space within the composition tell a story beyond the image, a narrative that resonated well with mothers.
This advertisement was praised for its approach to commercial art, where visual storytelling and product messaging intertwine seamlessly. It's no wonder Kwon won the 2013 SBA Award for Upcoming Artist in Advertising.
It was the first of an iconic series that ran for two years, all which underscored Huggies' commitment to a good night's rest for big girls.
As you observe mom and daughter, set against a backdrop of starry night skies and cozy bedroom decor, let yourself be transported to the serene world that Kwon envisioned—one where mommy knows best.
